Opening morning my brand new Ruger Hawkeye Preditor in 6.5 Creedmoor. But I’m also taking my Remington 700 Long Range in 25/06 maybe for the evening. But I’m on vacation that week so can’t leave home with out my Savage .270wsm and my Winchester 70 in 7mm/08. Oh and I have to bring rain guns in case it rains ? I guess I will work the 7 mags in the next week and I still haven’t gotten anything with my Tikka 30/06 got to break it in too. Oh and I don’t want to forget to hunt with one of my lever guns this year. This is getting complicated

Lol yea. I’ve got a few that I want to use this year. I have the Glenfield Model 50 12 gauge bolt action that I can’t wait to hit a pine thicket with some slugs! Hunting after Thanksgiving with my Dads old Remington 7400 30/06. Hunting the creek here at my house with a 30-30. Hunting the creek on my lease with Henry 357 lever action.

I'll have one of my boys with me so we'll probably just take the little ruger compact in 260 I just picked up. No reason to take two guns to the stand.

Going to use the .458socom I built over the summer, will probably take my Rossi M92 in 45colt in case I get a wild hair.

Yup. I never took one when my son was younger and went with me. I let him do the shooting.

If the forecast holds ill take my savage weather warrior in 30-06. If its sunny ill probably hunt with the bow.

Same gun I’ve preferred for 20 years. Rem 700 in .270.
I’ve killed close to 100 deer with a lot of different guns, nothing kills them as dead as a .270.

If my daughter goes, she will have her NEF 7mm-08. If she doesn't go, I'll have my Marlin 336 30-30. Smart money is on the 7mm-08 riding in the truck...

My son will have his Savage 11 .243 ray of death.
